Not really.
From the article about Endianness at the Wikipedia: Endianness also applies in the numbering of bits within a byte or word. In a consistently big-endian architecture the bits in the word are numbered from the left, bit zero being the most significant bit and bit 7 being the least significant bit in a byte. So endianness should have to do with bit order. Just because the usual way of packing/unpacking little- or big-endian data in Perl (Network and VAX types) does not follow this pattern it doesn't mean it's not correct. acid06 perl -e "print pack('h*', 16369646), scalar reverse $=" In reply to Re^3: Reading (and parsing) a byte stream
